At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Cleveland, Ohio, including the near west side neighborhoods of Detroit-Shoreway, Cudell, and Clark-Fulton, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Century-old homes being rehabbed, new infill construction around Gordon Square, and a constant stream of cleanouts keep containers in demand for homeowners, landlords, and contractors.
Your price depends on the container size, what you're throwing away, how long you keep it, and the disposal fees where the load goes. Below, you'll find our price ranges, the City's street obstruction permit, and what Ohio landfills can't take.

In Cleveland, a few things decide what your dumpster costs.
Size is where it starts. A container that fits the whole project in one haul is cheaper than two smaller ones.
Your debris type matters next. Plaster, lath, brick, and slate from older Cleveland homes are heavy. Carpet and yard waste also limit where a load can go, so tell us about them.
Where the load ends up plays a big role. There are no open solid waste landfills in Cuyahoga County, so mixed trash has to leave the county. Clean construction debris can go to a local debris landfill instead. One of them, Rosby Resource Recycling in Brooklyn Heights, lists $10.25 per cubic yard plus a small per-ton fee for mixed construction debris. Keeping household junk out of a building-debris load can save real money.
City rules also count. A container on the street or sidewalk needs an obstruction permit, and the City licenses private companies that haul waste. Your account manager will confirm what your address needs before delivery.

Pick a size based on how much debris you'll have and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster carries containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is our smallest. Use it for a bathroom gut, a porch rebuild, or a pile of old brick and concrete. Heavy material reaches the weight limit before the container is full, so a small size makes sense for dense loads.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits medium projects like a basement or garage cleanout, a kitchen tear-out, or a small roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size many Cleveland homeowners choose for a full-house cleanout or a remodel across several rooms. It holds plaster, trim, and furniture from a typical double.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits big rehabs, additions, and new construction. It's a good choice when several trades are adding debris for weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest. It's built for commercial work, full interior demolition, and large cleanouts.

If the dumpster sits on private property, such as your driveway or a side lot, you usually won't need a permit in Cleveland. Many homes on the west side have tight driveways, though, and a container on the street or sidewalk needs City approval.
The City issues a Street Opening and Sidewalk Obstruction Permit for anything that blocks a traffic lane or sidewalk. Applications go to the Division of Assessments and Licenses at City Hall, 601 Lakeside Avenue. The City's right-of-way permitting page links to the application and instructions.
Timing is the big thing to plan for. The application must be in at least 12 to 14 business days before the start date, and applications that come in later aren't accepted. Insurance and bond information is also required.
For questions, call the Division of Assessments and Licenses at 216-664-2174. Your account manager can help you decide whether street placement is worth it and connect you with the right office.
Most household and construction debris can go in a roll-off. The limits come from Ohio landfill rules and from the specific facility that takes the load.
Ohio EPA says solid waste landfills can't accept hazardous waste, PCB waste, bulk liquids, scrap tires, or yard waste. Hazardous materials like paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
Construction debris landfills are stricter about what counts as building debris. Household trash, furniture, appliances, tires, and batteries don't qualify. Rosby Resource Recycling also turns away carpet, commercial roofing, and yard waste.
If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Cleveland loads split two ways depending on what's in them.
Clean construction and demolition debris can go to Rosby Resource Recycling at 54 East Schaaf Road, Brooklyn Heights, OH 44131. It's an Ohio EPA licensed debris landfill and recycling site. It's open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday mornings from May through October.
Mixed trash is a different story. The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District notes that the county owns no landfill and has no open solid waste landfills. The City of Cleveland Ridge Road Transfer Station at 3727 Ridge Road is currently open to Cleveland residents only, not commercial loads.
For you, sorting pays off. A load of only building debris usually has a shorter, cheaper trip than a mixed cleanout load. Your account manager will confirm where your load is headed and explain any fees before delivery.
54 East Schaaf Road, Brooklyn Heights, OH 44131
Construction debris only; open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., plus Saturday mornings May to October.
Most Cleveland rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with the container arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you need a street permit, plan at least three weeks ahead, since the City wants applications 12 to 14 business days before work starts. Early booking can save you money, too.
Tips for a smooth delivery:
Weekend timing matters as well. The debris landfill is closed on Sundays, and it only opens Saturday mornings in the warmer months, so a load filled late in the week may wait until Monday.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Cleveland dumpster rentals start at $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and run up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container, based on a five-day rental. What you load and where it goes also affect the total. Your account manager will confirm included tonnage and overage rates when you book.
For a small load of household items, the City's residents-only transfer station may be the cheaper route. For a rehab or large cleanout, a dumpster usually wins. Debris landfills set minimum loads, and hauling several trips across the county takes fuel and time.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, leaving room for a mattress, chairs, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but light, so you'll run out of space before hitting the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos. Ohio landfills also can't take scrap tires or yard waste. If your load is going to a debris landfill, household trash, furniture, appliances, and carpet may need to stay out too.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest starting price, at $399 to $499. Your final price depends on the weight and the mix. Plaster and brick fill the weight allowance quickly, so keeping heavy debris in its own load helps you avoid overage fees.
A three-day rental usually costs the same as a five-day one, since we price per job and not per day. The weight and type of debris matter more than the rental length. Ask your account manager about included tonnage before delivery.
Most home and construction debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, plaster, roofing shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and cleanout junk. Brick and concrete are fine too, though they're heavy. If you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before you load it.
